Crud, I lost Pluto-Charon's orbit around the Sun.

[Clorox]

I have Celestia v. 1.5.0, I was tampering with the code to "fix" some things, and I lost P-C's orbit somehow. Can someone help me?

Also, if this helps:

Code: Select all

ReferencePoint "Pluto-Charon" "Sol"
{
    CustomOrbit "pluto"
}

        EclipticJ2000 { Center "Sol/Pluto-Charon" }

Often when a planet or other body disappears, the error is in a previous entry. Did you modify the orbit of one of Neptune's moons, for example? Perhaps accidentally delete the } at the end of Nereid's definition right above the definition of Pluto-Charon?

The problem is that Celestia doesn't show orbits for reference points.

That makes more sense. Thanks, Chris.
